Here is my RB Molly. She showed up one day as a stray at my parents house. She was slightly scared of people, but not feral. After she was taken in and brought to the vet, I found out she had been spayed. We will never know if she got lost, or was a drop off. She was the sweetest thing ever and was always happy. She seemed to project the attitude that she was so happy to be with us and not out on her own anymore.

Awwww, Molly


Here's my girl, Nala:




A family a couple houses up moved away and left her behind to fend for herself. She started coming around our place, and my aunt started feeding her. We tried to find a shelter or vet that could take her in, but no luck. But I'm glad we couldn't because I fell in love with her, and I know she's happy to have a home where she's loved and is cared for.

Flash

Flash literally just showed up in my backyard one day out of nowhere. She looked identical to my cat Phil, who died 2 years prior to when she showed up. Flash was so hungry when she first appeared, that she ate 2 pieces of whole white bread. Besides some minor asthma, she is perfectly healthy, and loves to eat. She always came 3 times a day, everyday, in all kinds of weather, and would wait on our back door step around midnight when we were all asleep. She even managed to come in a blizzard of 2 feet of snow, for breakfast,lunch, and dinner, she was very strong and athletic!
Now at age 4, almost 5, she enjoys eating, playing, and curling up next to me at night.

Little One showed up on my birthday two years ago and never wanted to leave (which is a very good things..he is a big sweety)


This is Buddy who came along about a year ago out of nowhere.


Julie is kind of a long story but she showed up one day and we gave her a bit of food since she was only about 9 weeks old or so. We soon found out later that she was our neighboors but they left her out ALL the time, even when it was cold. The neighboors moved about a month later and left her there, so we took her in. Then we found out it was too late and she was pregnant. That's where Julian, Louie, and Daisy came along.


And we found Lucy when she was probably around 6 weeks old. She was sick with a URI and worms but she was so sweet, we took her in and got her healthy. I'm so glad she came along because she gives life to the house. She's got an energy like no one else. And she never sits still!
Few days after we found her-

Now at 6 months-

That's Jackson. I found him one day in October when I was doing laundry. I saw him hiding and I spoke to him, he ran but watched me. He was hiding in a hole under the cement foundation and I managed to lure him out with a can of cat food. I left my laundry and drove him to the vet for a combo test. He was negative for both and was about 5 weeks old and a little underweight. I didnt found out until much later he had roundworms but those are all gone now. He is my baby.


That's Pumpkin. She showed up and ran around the neighbors for about a week. One neighbor kept her inside for one night and named her Pumpkin. They couldn't keep her because of their allergies. Right now she is living with me, and is negative for feline leukimia and aids and is about 8 months old. She is getting ready to be spayed. She is still up for adoption but I am really considering keeping her because I'm becoming attached.

On a Texas beach
Miss Kitty (photo in siggy) joined us six years ago when we lived in Houston. She showed up in our back yard to inform us that she was tired of the rigors and fears of the outdoors, and that if we proved to be good kitty-parents she would stay with us and grace our home.

She has been a marvelous kitty -- so well behaved that you hardly ever know she is here. Not the same, however, with Samwise and Molly!

She happily moved with us to the beach when we all retired, and had some real excitement recently when she evacuated with the rest of us because of hurricane Rita.

I have a weird feeling that he is the dad of most of Lilos kittens.
Also, when we move back to Louisiana.. Im taking him... my mom fell in love with him when she was here so she wants to keep him. After I have enough money to get Petals fixed.. Im gonna get him fixed too.

I have thought that too when I first saw your Petals. The only difference is Jackson is solid gray. Your Lilo definetly looks like a russian blue, and so does Bob. Soooo pretty! Do you keep Bob inside or is he an outdoor kitty?

Well he is still an outdoor kitty. I have not had enough money to get him the tests needed before I add him into the house. I just don't want to risk it with my 3 indoor cats.
This picture was actually taken when he first started coming around. He is alot fatter than this now. I ahve been feeding him well.
